Did I mention all the kittens you get to play with? Sam’Splains the World presents a field trip to Kitt’s Cafe & Gandalf’s Garden Podcast Episode. The only spot like it where you can play with adoptable kittens via Humane PA, get delicious food and drinks, buy some new plants, gifts and merch, and experience the ultimate one stop family owned shop!

Ever since I was a little girl I loved animals and learning about them, pretending to be them, and surrounding myself with stuffies to help me live my dreams. On safari, in the jungle, swinging into the rainforest, and growing up to be the next Jane Goodall, or Steve Irwin whose passing I won’t ever get over.

The closest I have gotten to any of those long lost dreams has been getting involved with National Geographic and being paired with explorers in the field to bring into the library classes I was privileged to teach Kindergarten through eighth graders. NatGeo and I would pair groups with explorers and help raise awareness for endangered animals, learn about becoming stewards of our planet, and the importance of simply caring. Caring enough to not let a species go extinct for the next generations to learn about and enjoy.

Traveling to conservation zoos all around the world whose main focus is to help bring back a species, help them expand, and educate the public around them with animal ambassadors. I was so thrilled to reach out to the Lehigh Valley Zoo and collaborate on an episode.

The location itself is gorgeous and up a mountain. The views are stunning, even before you see the animals. AND my favorite thing about this zoo is that you can have your wedding here! Or feed giraffes, or host an anniversary party, and everything in between. Venues that defy the norm in my opinion are the most memorable and engaging spaces. Having Joshua the Giraffe as best man… Can you top that?
